Optimized bilateral segmentation deep learning network for wild animal detection

The use of Deep learning (DL) for recognition of wild animals has become an important development in wildlife monitoring. The advances will include the use of multimodal data for improved accuracy and development of lightweight models for use in edge devices. As a result, DL will...

Statistical inference and applications of Kumaraswamy Odd Perks power Lomax distribution

In this paper, we introduce the novel Kumaraswamy Odd Perks power Lomax distribution, which provides flexibility in modelling data that exhibit wide range of density shapes such as left-skewed, right-skewed, decreasing, and decreasing-increasing-decreasing, and hazard behaviors l...

ROI-based binary caries segmentation in intraoral periapical radiographs using a ResNet-conditioned U-Net with FiLM-modulated decoder

Abstract Accurate segmentation of dental caries in intraoral periapical radiographs remains challenging because lesions are often small, low-contrast, and visually confounded by surrounding anatomical structures. To address this problem, an ROI-based binary caries segmentation fr...

TRUST-SC: truthful multi-task double auction for quality-aware spatial crowdsourcing in strategic environment

Spatial crowdsourcing (SC) enables the assignment of location-based tasks to mobile users who must travel to specific locations to perform sensing or service activities. However, SC systems often operate in strategic environments where both task requesters and task executors poss...
